I’m currently building a directory of links, and many valuable resources (usually University homepages) are now dead.

The Wayback Machine on Archive.org is a good resource for digging up these old links, but often the pages are incomplete — and hardly a robust snapshot of the website you’re looking for.

It made me think that they should open this up to the public for editing. Site administrators could check the archive for their site and make sure that the images and links have been archived properly, ensuring that their digital legacy remains intact long after their site is gone.
